Having a Rubbish Time
A stiff Brandy
Alex lay in bed,
apprehensive. He'd done all he could in preparation. Tomorrow was just another
day. Right?
After
what seemed like an eternity of twitching, tossing and turning, he drifted off
to sleep.
But
in his mind he was running. Trying to reach a door that got further away. His
feet were leaden. He heard a monstrous commotion in the distance.
Unintelligible shouting. Growing louder. A fetid odour lingering. It was close.
With
a scream, Alex kicked off the duvet and leaped out of bed. The beast departed
with a voluminous roar.
Damn!
He'd missed the bin men again.
About the Author
Mike
Olley made pop videos but gave it all up to live next to a Spanish castle,
where he grew cactuses, practised carpentry and wrote strange funny stories.
Unable to take the heat any longer, he returned to England with his sense of
humour and a half-baked novel. His first collection of short stories is Better.
Ha. Good one.
